Greetings Tribal Family! As you all know, the Tribe.net servers have been slow and unstable recently. But you may not know that Tribe is about to undergo a MAJOR UPGRADE that will be fully launched by the end of August. Below is a brand new update (July 3 '08) from Tribe's chief software engineer, followed by an earlier announcement from him (June 5 '08): The Sun shines on Tribe.net July 3, 2008 "So, today I basically got the go-ahead to go full speed ahead with the rewrite project. I have convinced management that I know how to scale Ruby on Rails, and with John Adams (one of our contractors) now working on twitter.com (one of my favorite websites which also happens to be 100% RoR). I should have a wealth of data coming back for the bleeding edge development we are doing. "I think you folks should get not only the most stable but the shiniest and the coolest toys to play with, since SOME of you are paying for it. Because of this, I've entered into talks with Sun and MySQL to run the next version of tribe.net on nothing but Sun Microsystems equipment with Enterprise level database support. We're also going to be using some bleeding edge technologies like computing clouds to make this as cost efficient as possible. I know this is probably wacky moon talk to more than a few of my friends and people reading it, but these are all good things. "Because of Sun's support for this project, I feel a lot more comfortable pushing the bleeding edge of what can be done.... "The new timeline goes a little like this: Proof of concept (July 9th) Beta test roll out (August 1st) Tribe.net 3.0 rollout (September 1st) "Due to certain efficiencies in coding in Ruby on Rails, we may have the beta-test sooner rather than later. Paid subscribers will have the first whack at the new Tribe.net servers, as we're setting up the cluster specifically for them first. Once we have the bugs shaken out, we'll launch the site for all members...." blog.tribe.net/thread/ac2...5c40c1727dd Big News for Tribe.net June 5, 2008 "I know it's been a while since you heard from me, but there's a very good reason for that. I've been very busy working on a complete rewrite of the tribe.net application and a restructuring of the tribe.net backend! Basically, we're upgrading some of our applications used to bring tribe.net to you, and we're working on the actual code that runs tribe.net.... "This never could have happened without our premium memberships. As a reward for that, our 1500 premium members will be the first folks allowed onto the new servers once we have the beta site running. "If you'd like to be first in line to try out the new tribe.net 3.0 beta, buy a premium membership! It's still only $5 per month, $25 per six months, and $50 per year!" blog.tribe.net/thread/889...a502e0febc5 - David , posted 07/03/08 |

East Field of July 7: a lunar phase calendar for the summer of 2007 that ends anomalously in cycle four Two new crop pictures appeared on July 7 at East Field and Fiddler's Lane. The first at Fiddler's Lane suggests a "dislocation" of some kind, while the second at East Field suggests a "date". East Field seems to show a lunar phase calendar for the summer of 2007, extending from May 15 to September 15. If so, then each "really large ball" in that picture would represent a full Moon, while many other "small balls" would indicate other phases of the Moon (new or half) which are less fractionally illuminated within any 29-day period. The first full Moon on the far end of East Field (largest central ball, spanning two tramlines) could plausibly represent a calendar date of June 1, earlier this summer when our Moon was full. It lies at the centre of 29 contiguous balls in an arc-like series, representing one lunar cycle of 29.5 days from May 15 to June 15. The second full Moon on the other end of East Field (next largest central ball, spanning one and one-half tramlines) could represent June 30, only a week ago when our Moon was again full. It lies at the centre of 29 more contiguous balls in an arc-like series, representing a second complete lunar cycle of 29.5 days from June 15 to July 15. The third full Moon at East Field (a slightly smaller "upside-down" central ball, spanning only one tramline) could represent a date of July 30, as the next full Moon at the end of this month. It lies at the centre of 17 contiguous balls in an arc-like series, which might be the number of days within this third cycle (July 15 to August 14) when our Moon will be visible above the horizon. Another small, isolated, round ball lies inside of that third inverted arc. It could plausibly be meant to signify "the last full Moon in a series of four". There is no "fourth full Moon" at East Field, but only a small "partial arc" close to the centre of that crop picture. It could easily have been drawn as continuing onward to a fourth full Moon on August 28, then to the end of a fourth lunar cycle on September 13. Instead, that fourth lunar cycle ends precipitously after just six small balls or days, sometime around August 14 to 22. A more precise decoding of East Field is necessary and will be undertaken soon. Two other pictures from Wayland's Smithy 2005 or 2006 seem related both in date and content.
